Things are looking good for 1.3.9rc1.

I'm through with my to-do list (well, the important bits from it - had to
resist the temptation on a few items ;-)

Since the CVS notifications aren't working, I'd like to point out two
important / interesting changes I made:

There is now an option to not stay logged in after your session expires.
The "stay logged in for ..." option is a convenience function, but a
dangerous one these days (as our special friend Jelmer has already
pointed out). Should someone manage to steal your cookies, they could
easily log in to your account.

I hope I didn't break session handling when changing this. Further
testing appreciated ...


Also, I've made a last-minute extension of the plugin API so that plugins
can now add their own entries to the What's New block. I've been wanting
to add this for a long time, but it always seems to slip through the cracks.

I've attached an implementation of the two new functions for the File
Management plugin (pretty much the same code that's already behind the
"New Downloads" block on geeklog.net). Just paste it into your filemgmt/
functions.inc


So what's left to do? More testing, of course. Documentation updates.
Running the language files through my lm.php script. And synching the
German version with CVS.

I'm still aiming at a release on Monday and hope to have a tarball ready
for pre-release testing by tomorrow evening.

I'll keep you posted ...

bye, Dirk

Sounds good -- Any idea when CVS will be back online?


* Update on Story Archive Mgmt *
I have completed the modifications to support Archive Mgmt of stories and
have someone else testing it now. I only needed to add one field to the
story table. There already is a statuscode field that was not being used.

You have 2 options now to expire a story
  1) Delete upon Expiry or
  2) Archive upon Expiry

You need to create a topic that you will use to hold the expired topics and
set it up using a new $_CONF parm:
 // Topic ID (tid) that Auto-Archived topics will be moved to at  their
expire date
 $_CONF['archivetopic'] = 'archive';

You would normally restrict permissions to only story.admin so these stories
and topic will not be accessible.

I also modified COM_article to use a new set of templates so that if you do
want these stories accessible to your members, the template would indicate
they are older stories.

I have not added the logic to disable new comments but that should not be
hard.

Effected files:
 index.php
 lib-common
 admin/story
storyeditor.thtml

Cheers,
Blaine

Blaine,

CVS _is_ online, including the web frontend. The only thing that's not
working are the notification emails.

bye, Dirk
